Always meditating in this very manner, he should unite the mind in the self;
the yogin attains the Lord, having reached whom he is liberated. // 26
Indeed, having subdued all the senses from sound, form, and the rest,
and knowing them, the yogin destroys without remainder the faults born of action. // 27
Then, purified through the power of meditation, conquering all, he attains liberation.
Uniting [the mind] each day, O Vyāsa, after six months he attains yoga. // 28
